Monetization update

Presearch is ramping up monetization to ensure we reach our potential as a leading search business with a sustainable and regenerative token ecosystem

Presearch homepage ads
Homepage takeovers are becoming Presearch Takeover Ads, as we are getting closer to being able to integrate ads across both the homepage and the search results page, increasing views by 10x or more. We are also introducing multiple images to better target different devices and screen resolutions.
Coupon feature live
We now have a coupon feature for select ecommerce sites — keep an eye out for a coupon icon alongside the search results to save money while also contributing revenue to the project through affiliate commissions.
Call for Search API representative
Looking for a community member to work on a commission basis to help promote the search API to potential customers, so we can monetize as the product gets finalized.
Product ads evolution
In addition to the product ads we receive through a private shopping feature partner, we are building our own product ad experience to ensure we have full control over this important monetization opportunity, enabling us to plug in product listing ads from Amazon and eBay, increasing relevance of ads.
More than 200 affiliates
The monetization team has been busy and got us approved with more than 115 affiliates through Rakuten, plus dozens of others through individual partnerships and platforms.
Looking for commission sales reps for homepage takeovers
